Convicted child molester Alan Horowitz is back in the United States, a spokeswoman for the state's Division of Parole said Sunday.

Horowitz, 60, will spend at least a week in a New Jersey lockup before he is brought before a judge in Schenectady County to face charges that he violated the terms of his parole.

Parole Spokeswoman Carole Weaver said Horowitz arrived early Sunday morning at Newark Liberty International Airport, escorted from India by U.S. Marshals. He'll be formally extradited to New York state the week of July 16, Weaver said.

Horowitz fled the country in June 2006. He turned up in Israel and then fled to India, where he was apprehended in May.

He was convicted in 1991 of first-degree sodomy after pleading guilty to an incident involving a 9-year-old boy in Schenectady County. Horowitz is a former adolescent psychiatrist. He served more than 13 years of his 10- to 20-year sentence before being released on parole in 2004.
